  ‘Twenty-first-century capitalism and the democracies that enabled it are self-destructing... a sobering ― and impeccably researched ― warning of what is likely to come next’ Bruce Whitfield  
  The leading lights of the tech revolution – Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk – have been hailed as savants and saviours of the modern age. And yet they are at the forefront of wealth inequality not seen since the heyday of the robber barons in the late 19th century, part of the slide to the First World War. Today, rampant inequality is inciting social unrest and undermining faith in the institutions of the democratic state. Citizens have been left at the mercy of unfettered capitalism – mere data subjects, endlessly surveilled, marshalled and increasingly angry and polarised. 
  The decoupling of capitalism from democracy has fostered an economic system seemingly powered by greed alone, with the marginalisation of democratic principles facilitating the rise of authoritarians and populists like Putin, Xi Jinping, Trump and Boris Johnson. 
  How has it come to this? And does the unanticipated fightback in Ukraine, with support from the West, show us the way to reclaiming the lost spirit of freedom inherent in liberal democracy?

  On my knees in the dark, he makes me chant for him. He’s etching this moment into my brain. 
  He says it’s a secret. He won’t tell anyone what we’re doing. 
  If word ever got out, I’d be ruined. A master kneeling for his servant…there’s no greater shame. It would jeopardize my position in the Roman Senate. 
  But with each passing day, I sink deeper. He’s broken something inside my mind. He’s conditioning me to crave his body. 
  Each night, he makes me commit bizarre, depraved acts. I moo like a cow while he “milks” me. I drink his essence. I happily lick the dirtiest part of his body. 
  Where does this end? Is there any sick command I won’t obey?

  Recognizing Burnout - 6 Signs...

  It’s important to recognize that burnout is not the same as laziness. While laziness implies a lack of effort or desire, burnout often strikes those who are overachievers, perfectionists, or individuals with a deep sense of responsibility. These traits, while admirable, can make it harder to set boundaries and prioritize self-care, leaving people more vulnerable to burnout. Understanding this distinction is critical to reframing how we view exhaustion and our responses to it.  
    
  The purpose of this book is to help you identify the signs of burnout and distinguish them from common misconceptions. By recognizing the six key indicators outlined in the following chapters, you can begin to take steps toward recovery and regain your sense of balance. Burnout is not a reflection of your worth or capabilities—it’s a call to reevaluate your priorities, nurture yourself, and create a healthier relationship with work, rest, and life. This journey begins with awareness and a commitment to honor your well-being.
